like I said, while I can't post rumors... this could get a lot worse

I don't understand why some of you continue to apologize for RP and Odom's behavior. Those two names continue to come up every time there is a problem. If you were recently suspended from the team, wouldn't you be on your best behavior and not put yourself in a position to be questioned? It's about making good decisions, something these two guys struggle doing.

I'm confident that opinions would be different if these two guys were on any other team.

At this point (Sunday, 9 AM CDT) this is a flimsy, though not unbelievable, story. Channel 9 is the only news organization I've found with a report on it. No arrests, shoddy details from unnamed witnesses.

Neither The Advocate nor The Times Picayune printed a whisper of this in their Sunday morning editions.

Let's hope the same is true 24, 48 hours from now.

I agree with you on some points, I do not feel though he needs to be kicked off the team. If something did happen and he was involved then I think he needs to be disiplined.

:geaux: :geaux: :geaux: :geaux: :geaux: :geaux:

No matter what, if the fact is, if you have million dollar potential, you shouldn't be getting into bar fights. No matter how you call it, it shows a lack of maturity. Dude has too much to lose to be getting into bar fights.

First Casino, now this. Draft Stock is plummeting, especially with the premium on high character guys, with Gooddell dropping the hammer.

Actually, that was his second. I know people blow off the counterfeiting thing, but there was something to it since his attorney was working on getting him in a pretrial diversion program.

It's amazing to me that some people on here want Miles to pull an Urban Meyer to keep one or two players in question.
I am NOT saying anyone is guilty of anything yet however once the facts are in, If the information happens to be true, somehow.
Then the players in question should be kicked off the team.
LSU is bigger than any one player on any team.
Some people act like this was nothing more than a fight and a certain individual has never been in trouble before which is not the case.

I know people want to bleed purple and gold just like I do but for gods sake lets be realistic here and lets hope our program is held to higher standards than the Gators and the Hurricanes of the world!

Now you wait a minute...what kind of incidents??? There were two, one federal "incident" that he wasnt even charged on, so its more than likely he had nothing to do with it and a second incident of trying to get into a casino with his brother's ID. If that is worth calling someone a bad apple, I dont know how many people can be considered "good" apples. As for this incident, try to focus here, it's still a rumor!! And even if it's true, some of the bouncers that were involved were fired, so this must tell you something about how "guilty" RP is. Hell, if every football player that gets into a fight must be kicked off, then we may as well turn into a division 3 team, and play the likes of Harvard and Princeton.
As for Odom, his incidents have been "thuggish", which gives bad rep for LSU. If he was involved in any "armed" incident or if he was responsible for starting that mess, he should go.

What's the purpose of entering a pretrial diversion program?

How many police reports does someone have to be in before one becomes a bad apple? One, two, three, ten?

:nope: Occam's Razor. Every time LSU players are involved in something bad, the first two names that pop seem to be Odom and RP. Ergo.

Sorry, but given the choice I'd rather not become Miami football of the last ten years.

Reveille article here.

I'll be very disappointed if, after any of this is substantiated, Odom doesn't get shown the door. As for RP, we'll see. I'd imagine Miles' trust in the kid must be pretty much trashed by now. Won't break my heart if he goes as well. Miles will have to tread lightly since it appears a large number of the team was there (including Dorsey?) and it might be tough to decide who to discipline who to led slide. :huh:

LA Tech game might be a good time for Welker or Hatch to get some time. Is it too late to play Jarrett Lee? I don't know the redshirt rules.
